Spring Has Sprung

It is such a beautiful day outside. Sunny, warm (50's), slightly breezy, but eh...I'll take it. Such a refreshing change from the awful rain this weekend. Oh wait, it's coming back in a day or so. Dammit. Anyways....I have been incredibly busy these past few days as evidenced by my lack of attention to my blog. A few things have made me want to post so now that I have a moment, here goes:

1. I finally talked with my friend with the jealous girlfriend. Here's the story: She got home Saturday night and after rifling THROUGH THE TRASH CAN she confronted him asking him who he had had over while she was gone. He (stupidly, cowardly, pick your adjective) denied it. She brought up as evidence the two sandwich wrappers in the trash. Wow. Really, that's all I can say on that. Anyway, he continued to deny he had anyone over and then they had a long discussion and all seemed right in their (increasingly unstable) world. I talked with him yesterday and he told me all this. I let him know that his phone had definitely called me and intentionally hung up on me. I was still finding the situation somewhat amusing at the time. Well, they had another discussion last night. This one included me (joy). He asked her about calling me, she denied it but was defensive (duh). He let it go and informed her I have a boyfriend (his word) and she has nothing to worry about. Um, yeah. Sure. That's going to solve everything. Especially when she tells him one of her coworkers played kickball with me last year. I get the unsettling feeling this is not over and that I am going to be involved (quite reluctantly) into drama. Ugh. No longer finding it amusing, just really, really sad.....
2. What goes around comes around it seems. Ahhh....the Boy Scouts. A fine tradition among men and young boys. My brother and I were both involved with the Scouts (I, of course affiliated myself with the girl variety) growing up. I feel I can speak for my brother and say that we both really enjoyed ourselves. I still have all my badges actually (yes, I know I'm a geek). I do find it highly....hmmm.....searching for right word here......ironic? humorous? sad? kharmetic? (yes I know it's not a word, but you know what I mean) that after such a hullabaloo about not allowing gay troop leaders there is now a scandal about a pedophile (or at least a man who enjoyed child porn) rising to pretty high levels in the organization. Wanna bet he's Republican? (I'm joking Mark.....well, mostly joking). It just kills me to see people get up on their high, moral horse and then come tumbling down. That's why I walk.....hurts much less when you fall.

More tomorrow - kisses.
